Those boosts are not capped by level and you don't have to wait 20 levels to get them all.

Adopting my suggestion would impose a limit on characters' stat craziness, not enhance it... and more importantly, make characters power-viable without shining like a Christmas tree... and reduce DM's fiat regarding WBL (some hand it like candy while others are stingy misers - I tasted both ends - both are bad).
If it works for you, go for it.

What I do differently is giving out 2 attribute points at every 4th, and on lv 10 & 20 I give two attribute points and two feats. It's worked for me and I've had no complaints so far.
